Street View, the feature that allows you to see addresses in Google Maps from street level, has always been useful, but a bit cumbersome to use. Â When you wanted to move down the street you had to click arrow after arrow until your finger was sore. Â Well, now thanks to new navigation items they are referring to as “pancakes”, you can zoom all over the map in a fraction of the time it used to take you.

All you need to do is point your cursor further down the map and you will see a circle, or “pancake” as Google is calling it. Â Double-click on that circle and the map automatically will zoom you to that location. If you want to look at something on a building, look for the square cursor and again double-click to go there.

So far this only works on the Web version of Google Maps, and not in Google Earth. It’s a definite first step to improving the product, though! You can watch the full explanation video below to quickly pick up on how it works.
